12 of the Most Bizarre Movie Monsters, From Silliest to Most Disgusting

The Thing (1982)

Ten years before Society, John Carpenter envisioned a parasitic extraterrestrial lifeform that assimilates other organisms in order to ultimately imitate them.

The incredibly realistic (and disgusting) transformations were brilliantly depicted using practical effects, which many fans prefer over the CGI of the 2011 prequel.

The Manster (1962)

A mad scientist working on evolution caused by cosmic rays in the atmosphere stimulates chemical change in a foreign news correspondent. After a few days, the man discovers a large eyeball growing out of his shoulder.

Eventually, the eyeball grows to an entire head, then later he splits into two completely separate entities.
